As President Joe Biden gears up for a crucial election season, he’s making a concerted effort to shore up support among African American voters, a demographic that played a pivotal role in his 2020 victory.
With a series of high-profile appearances and events, Biden is seeking to reconnect with Black voters and address concerns that have led to fraying within the Democratic coalition.
Biden’s latest outreach efforts include a visit to the National Museum of African American History and Culture, where he emphasized the significance of Black history in American culture.

He also met with families impacted by the landmark Brown v. Board of Education ruling and will deliver a commencement speech at Morehouse College, a historically Black institution.
Additionally, Biden will engage with Black voters at an event in Georgia and has criticized Trump’s record on diversity and inclusion. Despite some opposition from Morehouse faculty and students over Biden’s stance on Israel, the White House has confirmed that the visit will proceed as planned.
Biden’s campaign has highlighted his achievements benefiting Black Americans, including expanded healthcare access and record low unemployment rates. However, opinion polls indicate a close election, making turnout among Black Americans in key battleground states crucial for Biden’s success.
In a memo, senior adviser Trey Baker emphasized the campaign’s commitment to earning every vote, stating, “We will continue working diligently to ensure that come November, Black voters send Joe Biden and Kamala Harris back to the White House to continue delivering for Black America in unprecedented ways.”
